[QUOTE="ajbelayer, post: 108775, member: 18013"] After moving to northern Minnesota with winter approaching and being in way over my head with all the projects around the 3 acre property we're living on reality has set in that I need to bring in some machinery to help, after some research and talking to people a skid steer is what I believe I want. In short I have 3 uses in mind 1) yard landscaping and clean up, ideally something that won't destroy the grass; 2) snow removal from the dirt driveway this winter; 3) moving pallet boxes around the yard/driveway area. I am looking at a Bobcat 440b with all weather kit, 3 buckets and forks, good paint, works good for $7k. Questions: Is this a good price? Will I be happy with a small machine? I know its missing aux hydraulics which I do want for a grapple. Also can put a counterweight or something on the 440b to give is some extra lift/traction when needed? Thanks all! Aaron [/QUOTE]
